Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Pre- and post-workout support and exercise performance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle strength, Exercise endurance, Workout recovery.
  • The closest evidence on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Agmatine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Muscle strength.

The evidence for agmatine is not yet established in the data we hold. It carries insufficient reliable evidence ratings for alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, anxiety, athletic performance, autism spectrum disorder, and bipolar disorder—meaning studies so far are either too small, too short, or too mixed to draw firm conclusions about whether it works for these uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Agmatine

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Short-term use of agmatine appears generally well tolerated in the doses studied. The most common side effects reported in small clinical trials are diarrhea, indigestion (dyspepsia), and nausea—most often appearing within 2 to 3 days of starting and going away once you stop.

Long-term safety in humans hasn't been well studied, so we don't have solid data on what happens with extended use. There isn't enough safety data to recommend agmatine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're in either situation.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
